DALLAS, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Canyon Partners Real Estate LLC (“Canyon”) today announced that Chad Goodman has joined the firm as Head of Eastern & Central Region Credit. Based in New York, he will lead opportunistic real estate credit originations across the Eastern and Central regions of the United States, further expanding Canyon’s sourcing and lending capabilities in key markets nationwide.
